National Geographic Travelさんのインスタグラム写真 - (National Geographic TravelInstagram)「Photo by Prasenjeet Yadav @prasen.yadav When you are in a vehicle for days and reach a spot like this—where the entire mountain has fallen on the so-called road—you don't complain about being late. You say, Thank God it didn't fall on me. That's the mantra with which most people live high up in the mountains, constantly thanking the higher spirits every time they dodge a boulder, an avalanche, or a flood. Most of the people who got stranded on either side of this block for two days, in the middle of nowhere with no food, had this same feeling. Over time even I learned to consider myself blessed that the worst didn't happen while living in these mountains. The perspective to look at situations like this is what makes mountain people fascinating. Border Roads Organisation (BRO) is responsible for creating and maintaining the most treacherous roads in the world: the Himalayan roads. As the Himalaya is still growing, it is one of the toughest places to maintain a road. It seems like every now and then the mountain shakes its loose soil and rocks and makes things difficult, but we have figured out a way to remain and make the Himalaya home.
